Can you wash comb coils?

[lazywolf894]

If you have just twisted a very short length of hair, it may be difficult to wash them because of the certainty of unraveling or loosening back into an afro. For short comb coils/twists you can opt to use witch hazel or sea breeze (or a mix) on a cotton pad, and rub it across the scalp, gently.

Locs develop and take shape long before theyre actually mature, or rooted. The length of the locking process can range from six months to a year. There are a number of factors that contribute to how long itll take your tresses to loc, and its different for everyone.

Similarly, how long should you keep a LOC style? For setting locs, its recommended to keep the following in mind: Leave the set in for a while. For example, if using pipe cleaners, and you leave them in for at least 3 days, the curls will stay in for about a month or longer. When using rollers or rods, you must stay under the dryer for a while (2 hours).

Furthermore, can you wash hair coils?

Please do not comb or brush your hair out after you take down your coils. Wet your hair down, shampoo, and apply a conditioner that gives the hair super slip. It is always easy to remove tangles when your hair is wet and conditioner is applied. Your hair can break if you try to manipulate it while it is dry.

How do I make my comb coil last longer?

Wash your coils using a stocking cap which protects the twists from unraveling while still letting shampoo and water get through to the hair. Use a moisturizer as needed. As always a satin scarf or bonnet at night will keep your style looking fresh and help it to last longer.
